‘October Surprise’ Will Obama Attack Iran?

I’ve been telling audiences around the US for some time, that I think that President Obama’s much feared “October Surprise” could be a US led attack on Iran. I think that if it happens, it will not be all out war, but a comparatively small, surgical assault.Here is my logic.Obama loves Russia. Moscow loves Obama, because he is destroying the
United States military, just as Moscow has always wanted. If Obama gets
four more years, America’s once mighty military will become nothing more
than a strike force for the United Nations – which is effectively
controlled by Russia and China.Russia wants Obama to win this election to finish off the US military
as an effective counter force to Moscow and Beijing’s joint program for
world domination.Russia is allied with Iran, through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and through their shared hatred of the United States.Obama will never seriously damage Iran, because Tehran is allied to his friends in Moscow.However, if Obama attacks Iran – just enough to give them a bloody
nose – this could well be enough to give him the lift in the polls he
needs to win the upcoming election.Moscow orders Iran to take a small hit, Obama wins four more years.
He then guts the US military, leaving Moscow, Beijing and Tehran to do
whatever they like, with no fear of retaliation.A win/win situation for the Axis of Evil.The Moscow funded propaganda station Russia Today, seems to think that such an attack is very likely.From Russia Today:

The United States and Israel are already
involved in discussions over how they could soon conduct a joint
surgical strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, a source close to the talks tells Foreign Policy magazine.After months of urging from Israeli authorities for the US to
intervene in a rumored Iranian plan to procure a nuke, a source speaking
on condition of anonymity tells Foreign Policy’s David Rothkopf that the two allies have come close to signing off on an attack against Iran.Although no plan of action has been set in stone yet, the source says the attack will likely be from the sky and consist
of drone strikes and bomber jets for only “a couple of hours” at best
but would not require more than “a day or two” of action.But while the US has not officially signed onto the strike, the source reports, American
involvement would be absolutely necessary in order to effectively take
out the structures where Iranian scientists are assumed to be attempting
to procure a nuclear warhead.“To get to buried Iranian facilities, such as the enrichment
plant at Fordow, would require bunker-busting munitions on a scale that
no Israeli plane is capable of delivering,” Rothkopf writes in the
article, published Monday, October 8. “The mission, therefore, must involve the United States, whether acting alone or in concert with the Israelis and others.”.Speaking before the United Nations General Assembly only days
later, though, President Obama appeared to be more willing to act if
Iran is proven to be procuring a weapon of mass destruction, vowing, “the United States will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,”
and said that any attempts by Iran to procure a nuclear warhead would
“threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of Gulf nations, and
the stability of the global economy” and is “not a challenge that can be
contained.”Now following a report RT published last week concerning
classified footage of Iranian facilities believed to be handed over to
American intelligence from a defected member of Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad entourage, the US may finally be ready to give in to Israeli pressure and strike Iran.

I only hope that Israel does not go along with any such plan. Any
attack on Iran before the election will almost certainly help Obama.Four more years of Obama could well be the death of Israel and probably every other Western nation.Better to wait until after January 2013, when a true friend of Israel
will hopefully be occupying the White House. If Romney is resolute
enough, quick enough, Tehran may be tamed by other means, rather than
war.Then there is the huge elephant in the room.Why the huge fuss about Iran building nuclear weapons in the first
place? Its a farce. Russia could ship any number of nuclear weapons over
the Iranian border any day it chooses.Russia and China are the real enemies. Iran is just their proxy.PostscriptFrom The Jerusalem Post:

The White House implemented new sanctions against
Iran Tuesday, as the US seeks to tighten the financial screws on the
regime in Tehran.US President Barack Obama issued an executive order that carries
out sanctions approved previously by Congress. The new measures include
cracking down on the provision of goods, services and technology to
those who help the regime’s repression of the Iranian people.They also take a step toward imposing sanctions on Iran’s natural
gas exports, in addition to the ones currently in place for petroleum.“This action is part of our comprehensive sanctions effort to
apply pressure on the Iranian government to meet its international
obligations with regard to its nuclear program,” US National Security
Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement accompanying the
sanctions announcement.
